Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Structure and composition of hyperspectral images and physiological parameters derived from the images, which are typically displayed in false color.
NIR PI = near-infrared perfusion index; OHI = organ hemoglobin index; StO2 = oxygen saturation of tissue; TWI = tissue water index

(A) Red-Green-Blue (RGB) representation of the imaged brain, including normal and tumor tissue. (B) Extraction of blood vessels from hyperspectral images using the spectral angle mapper algorithm (SAM). (C) Tissue classification map generated from hyperspectral images: tumor tissue is red, normal tissue is green, blood vessels are blue, and background is black.

Figure 7

Usefulness of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in establishing transection line during colorectal surgery. The Red-Green-Blue (RGB) image (A) and StO2 map (B) show a patient in whom the clinical transection line (continuous line in black) and HSI transection line (dotted line in blue) were aligned; (C) and (D) show the RGB image and StO2 map, respectively, of a patient in whom the clinical transection line deviated from the HSI transection line.
